Even More Magic and Mayhem
The contents herein are entirely player made and in no way represent official Warcraft lore or history. The characters and events listed are of an independent nature and are applied for roleplaying purposes only.
Even More Magic and Mayhem is a fan-created RPG sourcebook. The document as a fan creation, is being created as a reference for players of the WoW RPG; it is not an official World of Warcraft product. It was originally announced in the White Wolf forums as an "official" "wink wink" (translated: "non-official", a "fan supplement", or "netbook) pdf, with updated downloadable content, with material written by rpg fan community and by writer/developer Adam Loyd (MagusRogue). It is being written without the authorization by Blizzard but apparently the "blessing of the head of the line" at White Wolf.
It is fan followup to the official sourcebooks; Magic and Mayhem, and More Magic and Mayhem. Included in it are new and variant rules, including revisions to core classes and other updates. Also to be included are poison and disease rules, as well as trapmaking. Also updated are the few pre-BC abilities and spells from the World of Warcraft. Two adventures were to be included.
The announcement of the book was by MagusRogue. Like some of his fan material on his site, material from the book may or may not be adapted and referenced in future official publications, or even used by White Wolf.
Art request
In August 2009, Mark Boulton, art director for the Even More Magic and Mayhem project announced that the netbook was essentially finished, but that the team was looking for artists to create artwork.[1]
Beta testing
Sometime prior to August 2010, an unfinished version of Even More Magic and Mayhem was uploaded to Greywolf's World of Warcraft Fan Site.[2] On the 1st of August 2010, this beta version was updated, with some (but not all) of the reported errors removed. The webmaster of the site is asking for more volunteers to download and proofread the beta version, to help eliminate more errors.[3]
